As a minister from the United States succinctly and prophetically described, this year’s IPPC was “a gathering of God’s end-time generals!” Every session of the Pastors’ Conference, where Pastor Chris shared on ‘the Power and Pursuit of Purpose’ was an outpouring of God’s Spirit, leading to some describing it as a reset or realignment of their inner spiritual workings.

Both the International Pastors’ Conference and the International Partners’ Conference opened with an address from the BLW CEO, who read out the gallant achievements of the BLW Nation in the Year of the Supernatural and assured delegates of a glorious time, celebrating our riches!

History Made with 1.2 Billion Copies of Rhapsody of Realities Circulated in 2018

17-year achievement realized in one year as partners distributed 1.2 billion copies of Rhapsody of Realities.

At the beginning of ‘the Year of the Supernatural’, along with the prophetic word for the year, Pastor Chris declared through the Spirit that it would be 10 years in 1. Emphasizing God’s power to do exceedingly abundantly above all expectations, 1.2 billion copies of the #1 daily devotional, Rhapsody of Realities, were distributed in 2018, exceeding the ministry target of 1 billion copies.

The significance of this is quite overwhelming when the past achievements of the most-translated book in the world, Rhapsody of Realities, is taken into consideration. Over the coursed of 17 years, a little over 1.3 billion copies of the devotional were distributed in every known and inhabited nation under Heaven; this was last year, 2017’s achievement. In this special ‘Year of the Supernatural’ almost all of the 17-year distribution was accomplished, fulfilling the scriptures that all the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God.

There are not many books in the world translated in over 1,000 languages. This phenomenal achievement, announced by the Director of the Rhapsody of Realities department, Pastor Yemisi Kudehinbu, during the IPPC 2018, was made possible by devoted followers of the BLW President, Reverend (Dr.) Chris Oyakhilome and is worth celebrating.
